Plugin Manager

The Plugin Manager serves two purposes. Primarily it is used to
control the display status of plugins. It can also be used to find and insert
plugins into the
Processor Box. It is
displayed either by a double-click in the Processor Box or by
choosing New Plugin > Plugin Manager… from the
Processor Box context menu.

Displayed for each plugin is the status (normal, favorite, hidden),
name, type, category, creator (author), and the number of audio and MIDI
connections. The plugins can be sorted by clicking on a column header.

The Plugin Manager window.

Plugin Display Status

Click on a Fav(orite) or Hide radio button to change a plugin's display status.
Clicking on an already selected radio button will cancel it, returning the
plugin to the normal display status. Plugins marked as a favorite show up in
the Processor Box context menu under
New Plugin > Favorites. Setting the hide
radio button on a plugin will keep the plugin from showing in the
Processor Box context menus
New Plugin > By Creator or
New Plugin > By Category.

Filtering Listed Plugins

The middle of the Plugin Manager is used to filter the listed
plugins. Typing into the text-box will filter the plugins based on the filter
mode selected by drop-down box. Clicking Clear
empties the text-box.

Inserting Plugins in the Processor Box

The bottom half of the plugin manager shows plugins that have been selected
for insertion into the Processor Box. A plugin can be added by
either double clicking the plugin entry in the top half, or, if already
selected in top half, by clicking Add.

Plugins can be removed from the bottom half with a double click, or, if
already selected, by clicking Remove.
